The sad part is I finished up all my clubs, classes and workshops and took everything home and threw it in my room and closed the door...now I am scared to go in there!!! Tonight is the night for reorganization....and hopefully, maybe a little playing too, I miss my room, my space and my mojo!!Everyone please cross your fingers that all goes well and I come out before sunrise with a smile!! Hopefully with a creation in hand....no promises though!!

Baby Shower & Favors

Well my baby Tan is having their first precious little one....Tuesday is Baby Shower day at her school where she works, so this is her surprise from home. A simply decorated previously a cupcake box turned Baby Shower Favor Box filled with treats for those attending to say Thank You from Nana!! They have decided not to find out what they are having, so going with the excited....blue or pink?? What will it be.......it doesn't really matter as it will be so very loved no matter what!!

Paper used was the back side of CTMH Cherry-O patterned paper, cocoa & blue cardstock, along with some Twill Ribbon, Big Blooms, some cute Baby Rattles cut using my Cricut, Big Shot Top Note Die as well as CuttleBug baby carriage Embosslit.

I hope she enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it....it is all in making it from the heart....
